Question 1

Will I be able to tolerate the pain post-operatively?

Accepted Answer

Each patient will tolerate pain post-operatively in a different way, and we consider this. While some patients may describe the pain as an ache, others experience greater discomfort. Appropriate pain medications are prescribed for the post-operative patients, and these help minimize discomfort. Most facial cosmetic operations have minimal postoperative discomfort. Liposuction is slightly more uncomfortable, and operations that require elevation or tightening of the muscles, such as an abdominoplasty or breast augmentation, have discomfort equal to that of a C-section.

Question 2

Is there a right age for cosmetic surgery?

Accepted Answer

There is no ideal age to have cosmetic surgery. The time to have an elective procedure is when the desired change will justify the time, effort and the cost involved. Another factor to take into consideration is the potential length of time to enjoy the benefits. For example, if an individual has a facelift earlier in life, the rewards of this surgery can be enjoyed for a greater period of time.

Question 3

How long will my results last?

Accepted Answer

There is no precise answer to this question. Surgery does not affect the ongoing aging process which is largely dependent upon genetics. What cosmetic plastic surgery does is turn back the clock. Aging is inevitable; although with cosmetic surgery, you are able to continue to look more youthful and in shape.

Question 4

How long is the recuperative period and when can I return to work?

Accepted Answer

The length of time it takes to recuperate after plastic surgery varies depending on the procedure performed and the person operated on. Most patients will require assistance for the first two days. Then most patients are able to care for themselves, but may still need assistance if they have small children to care for. The specific lengths of disability are outlined below by procedure. These are approximations, and do not include return to exercise.

Question 5

When can I resume regular exercise?

Accepted Answer

The time a patient resumes regular exercises varies based on the operation performed. All patients are encouraged to start a slow walking routine on the second postoperative day. Regular aerobic and more vigorous activities are not allowed during the first 2 weeks in order to decrease the risks of bleeding, swelling, and bruising. Weight lifting and contact sports are allowed at 6 weeks in most cases.

Question 6

What can be done to reduce the appearance of scars after plastic surgery?

Accepted Answer

All surgery creates scars but there are ways to minimize the appearance of scars. Deep sutures, for example, keep tension off the surface of wounds and help keep scars thin. Scars can be placed as inconspicuously as possible. Our team is also able to perform scar revision surgery to reduce any unsightly scars.
